This is cheap enough, but to many the
$5would be as difficult to get us fortune.
There.nre no names or explanations, but
the Inference is that one is to make the
fortune by buying a-lot of recipes, making
the articles and selling them at q Large
profit. A long list of recipes is given, ,fand
we refer to the matter to caution against
buying the recipes to make this and that
that are hawked about. They are gener-
ally useless, and ut times dangerous.
Among those in this list is '"Tooth Wash,
to Remove Blackness. This consists OF
about one-fourth muriatic acid, and if used
well will remove the blackness-and the
teeth also. Another, 40 Remove or De-
stroy Hair" consists largely Of sulphuret
of arsenic, most violent poison, and
dangerous to apply to the skin, as it may
produce fearful sores. Don't buy recipes

Tic chinese in Honolulu.

Honolulu is almost overrun by the Chi
nese; many of these are merchants OF no
small pretensions, and one or two are mil
honaires. One of the prettiest residences
in the fashionable part of the city is
owned by Chinaman named A. Fong.
His establishment is one of regal and orr
entail splendor. The natives appear to
take very kindly to the Chinamen-the
Kanaka women marrying them in prefer
ence to white men or men of their own
nationality, and in this I think they are
fully justified and evince sound discre-
ton. The Chinaman is frugal and
thrifty-respects and takes pride in his
Kanaka wife, escorts her about and fur
nishes good home. The native is too
indolent, too improvident or too big an
Indian to take his wife into consideration,
and the white man abuses and deserts her
whenever and as often as it suits his pur-
pose,-Home Journal.

Trotting Wonders of the World,

The six leading sires of the world, ac-
cording to The Breeders Gazette, are
Blue Bull, George Wilkes, Daniel Lam
bert, Volunteer, Dictator and Electioneer
that is, when all things are considered.
"When one takes the fastest three of the
get of each, says the authority quoted
from, 'the speedily discovers that in this
point of excellence Dictator stands at the
head. His best three are Jay Eye See,
2:10; Phallas, 2:13 34, and Director, 2:17,
their average records being 2:131-2 Next
in order comes George Wilkes whose fast
est trio are Harry Wilkes, 2:13 IL; Guy
Wilkes, 2:15 1-2, and Wilson, PIG IA.
Averaging these records we find the re-
suit to be 2:15 IA. Then comes Volun-
teer with st. Julien, 2:11 IA; Gloster,
2:17, and Alley, 2:19. Their average is
2:15 Ia Electioneer follows closely be-
hind Volunteer with Manzanita, 2:16;
Anteo, PIG IA, and Adair, 2:17 IA, the
average rate of speed in their case being
2:16 1-12, and when it is borne in mind that
Manzanita made her record last season
when but years old, and that she will
undoubtedly 60 faster this year, it must
be conceded that Electioneer is wonder
fully well to the front in this regard, as
he certainly is in others"

Firing acIocomotive.

The work of firing an engine comes very
near being skilled labor, especially on a
lightning run. Then one has to be feed
ing coal almost constantly from the start.
And the coal must not be thrown into the
frebox carelessly, but it must DE placed
where it will do the most good. The
steam must be kept up to, the, figure, and
no great variations from the standard are
allowed. A fireman has so much to do
with an engine off and on that If he is in
telligent it is not long: before he is able to
handle locomotive all right. But that

Composition Of Cream. .

Cream varies in composition according
to the circumstances under which it is
produced, and as u consequence of these
differences in the composition of cream
variable quantities of butter are produced
from given bulk of cream. The value
Of milk, then, for butter making cannot
be determined simply from the percent
age of cream thrown up. The butter
whey must be obtained by churning tho

parallel rows along stretch OF clean,
grayelly ground, slightly elevated above
the mud flats of an adjacent alkaline sink.
The material Of the tents was woven
goat hair, and the prevailing shape a COM
promise between the Indian tepee and an
ordinary, wedge tent. The tent Of the
chief stood out conspicuously from the
others by reason of its large size and the
superior material entering into its con-
